Map of USGS gauge 0237854520 and the river around it
Where FISH RIVER NEAR MARLOW, AL sits, with 1 other gauge on the same river and our water's map point.
No current water-temperature reading at this gauge, so no temperature guidance is given. Take a stream thermometer. Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources publishes no water-temperature line for trout anglers that we found. The lines below are the National Park Service's, federal guidance, not a Alabama rule: 68°F.
Species the agency lists for Fish River: Bluegill, Crappie, Flounder, Largemouth Bass, Red Drum, Spotted Seatrout.
USGS publishes no daily statistics for this gauge, so the reading is not compared with the record.
Rising over 24 hours: discharge up 62.7%, from 150 to 244 ft³/s. Rising or falling means a change of more than 10% in discharge (or 0.2 ft of gauge height) over 24 hours; our rule of thumb, not a USGS class.
Source: Rivers and Mobile Delta: WFF river fishing pages that feature black bass (Alabama Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries Division).
Rising water. Rising over the last 24 hours (discharge up 62.7%). Keep your way back to the bank in sight and watch the level while you fish. “Rising” is our rule of thumb: more than 10% in discharge or 0.2 ft of gauge height in 24 hours, not a USGS or NWS class.
Turn Around Don't Drown. “A mere 6 inches of fast-moving flood water can knock over an adult.” No flow number makes a crossing safe; if in doubt, stay out.
Turn Around Don't Drown (National Weather Service)Guidance from the readings above and the published thresholds named with each line; not a fishing forecast, a safety guarantee or a statement about access. Local rules and closures come first.
NWS observed 2.38 ft stage, 136 ft³/s at Nov 5, 9:30 PM CST (NWS gauge FSMA1; its stage datum can differ from the USGS gauge height).
NWS has not set flood categories for this gauge.
Graphical forecasts are not available during times of high water, forecast crest information can be found in the local WFO web page.
